ECDY in your supplements
For a long time the benefits of ECDY were not utilised by supplement makers because the extraction process was far too costly. But around a decade ago technology advanced to the point where it could be extracted in commercially viable quantities and since then it has been popping up in a number of supplements, and receiving rave reviews from users. The fact that it was originally discovered in insects should not make users concerned that they are eating bugs because it is also found in the plants Rhapoponticum leuzeae and Cyanotis vaga, which are two naturally occurring herbs. Research, especially by the Russians who have led the way in power and strength based sports, has shown that it played a role in boosting testosterone levels and in general has an anabolic effect leading to gains in muscle. The appeal of a non hormonal, anabolic agent that is extracted from plants was immediate in the body building world. There are now many supplements on the scene which contain ECDY including:
- Thermolife E-Bol which contains the purest ECDY out there and a holistic formulation of other herbal extracts including cyasterone and ten other plant ecdysteroids, that will help with supercharging the anabolic effects resulting in greater muscle gains, power and endurance.
- Universal Animal M-Stak is a pro hormone free anabolic activator that leads the market for its anabolic effects. It also helps with preventing muscle ‘wastage’ and the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which can also lead to lessened muscle gains. Derived from plant and other natural sources, Animal M Stak leads the way in replicating the anabolic gains of hormone based supplements, whilst still being suitable for athletes who undergo drug tests.
- Musclepharm Battle Fuel contains Suma Root sometimes also called the ‘Russian secret’ since the Russians pioneered its use. It is a natural source of ECDY, amino acids and nutrients in concentrations that make it ideal for body building. Battle Fuel also helps suppress estrogen and increases power and endurance during workouts, as well as pushing testosterone levels through the roof, with all the benefits of added muscle mass, power, aggression and endurance that entails.
In short, ECDY is here to stay and is already a huge part of the body building supplement scene.
Why use supplements with ECDY in them?
ECDY is a naturally derived herbal extract that plays a part in elevating testosterone levels and anabolic function. It helps increase muscle mass, power and endurance and is being hailed by many as the ‘new creatine’ meaning it is making an impact similar to when creatine appeared on the body building scene. Without a doubt more and more top body builders consider ECDY essential to achieving those freaky results so many aspire to.
